Air Jordan 1 Hi ‘85 (New beginning) “ Reverse Bred”

[spoonmanofthehour]

Shape looks weird esp around the front/toe area. Hella long. They really need to alter the toe rand and toe cap dimensions to a slimmer finish..

Agreed. I don’t like this new toebox at all. It sucks. I will just stick to the other 1’s like the Court Purple shape.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Not sure if you’ve had these in hand yet but they quality and attention to detail is on point besides the toe issue. I think the red and whites have a slightly better toe. People saying the leather is trash are folks who haven’t had them in hand yet or don’t know what they're talking about.

The leather isn’t that great. OG’s did not look like that when creased.

the leather is closer to og than anything we have gotten in at least 20 years.

I had OG’s. The leather was not like that. But whatever you say. Enjoy. I’m staying away from this version unless they improve them.

Just because you had ogs doesn’t mean this isn’t as close as it gets. The purples look like bad fakes when you put them next to ogs.

sorry, not even close

da hen knows.

For me, if they can’t get them right, I’d rather just stick to the recent 1‘s we’ve been getting like the Shadow’s, UNC’s, etc. That’s me, though. Not worth the $200 price tag for that.

What’s closer besides the new beginnings?

Looking at that toebox I know what to believe.

The leather is real. The leather on the other ones is not real leather.

I’m sure in 30 years the shoes we have now will be considered some crazy quality leather by the kids.

especially some broken in pairs

I got a pair of DS 94’s a couple years ago and I’m sure if they released today folks would’ve complained about the leather on them. Just because of the date They released.
say they are 94 and boom! Omg wow!

folks just make stuff up in their mind. As well as bad /worn/ old leather just aging nicely compared to a fresh hide.

stop talking about these Jordan’s like it was some high end sneaker back in 85. It was still a cheap Nike. Just like it is now.

Enjoy the design!!

Nobody said or claimed they were high end, but if you think they were cheap like today then you are wrong. That black leather on the SBB was not used back then. You can clearly see the company cutting corners for their bottom line. They were also $65 in ‘85 and it was better leather. So it wasn’t the same. It is what it is though.

nike and Jordan weren't also making millions of shoes a year at the time

 

[headdetective]

It be the same cats making the same complaints

85’s are dope.

OG’s are dope too.

 

[Sonset23]

I missed out on a pair. Not going to pay what they want for them. I have learned to move on to the next one. And they are a dope shoe Congress to all they copped.

Even the gov. got pairs

 

[Bert.]

I wanted to scoop a pair to have even tho I’m not big in the color way, of course prices went up

 

[rafbuddy]

aint buyin these anymore f prices

85, 94, 01, 2010

whatever year. Get the colorway you like and enjoy the model was my point

nostalgia is awesome man. Vintage shoes look cool and the shape was a little better.

But yea those 85 Jordan’s were some winners! Greatest quality on a Jordan! Wish I could’ve lived through it!

see ya in 30 years

 

[rafbuddy]

what I don't understand is that the demand is so high for a sneaker made in 85. why not just release it to the masses in the same tradition. people would easily plow through 3-4 pairs a year.
